Enexis

For well over a century, Enexis have operated at the centre of society to ensure a reliable energy supply and provide services that they believe make people’s lives easier and more comfortable. By using their knowledge, expertise and energy in a variety of ways, they are helping accelerate the energy transition.

Client challenge

With 4,500 employees, Enexis implements, manages and maintains a substantial part of the Dutch electricity and gas grid for 2.8 million customers daily. It sought to anticipate and react even faster to changing circumstances in the energy supply chain. Enexis was looking for scalable and agile IT-capacity in a public and cloud-native environment.

How we made value

The implementation and integration of applications within the IT operation has been simplified with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), slashing application delivery from 6-12 weeks to just 2 days. Fully automated processes will replace manual configuration work and enable the switch-off of systems when they are not in use. This leads to cost savings up to 25%.

Sogeti response

Our experience with large scale transformations to the public cloud and cooperation with niche partners Schuberg Philis and First Consulting helped us close the deal after a European tender process. We developed the roadmap and the transition for some 200 existing applications to acloud-native application platform, either on IaaS, PaaS or SaaS. In 2017 Sogeti and Enexis won a joint sourcing award for the most revolutionary eco-system for public-private cooperation.

“We realize sustainable energy supply with ‘state-of-the-art’ networks and services. Our IT-landscape will be more flexible with the application transformation to a public cloud environment. Moreover, we ensure softwareliability and security. Our partners are wellexperienced in these complex projects so we are looking forward to a successful and innovative change over the coming years.”Jeroen Sanders, Managing Director ICT of Enexis Group
